hood, ss well as Personal Purity, for every
Man" aud Its aim Is to Eccur q proper
practical recognition OF its principles on
the part OF the individual, the family and
tho Nation.
What is now proposed to have estab--
lished in city, is in evident agreement
with these precepss, and in perfect accord
with the wheat practical judgment Of the
best men in our city, both clergymen end
laymen.
The purpose Of this earnest movement
to secure 4 "Home Tor Friendlees Womeun
is very clear, and ought no. to be misun-
ders.ood. The means 10 secure it, may
como from many quartera, M the smallest
sums will be thankfully received, An.
nual subscriptions, from a dime to a dol.
lar, up to one hundred or a thousand in
(, donations. will be acknowledged by the

drugetore. Tho Home Ia intended to be n
relueo for unprotected women and girls.
who como seeking employment in our
city, aud who sometimes need kindly
sympathy, quite as'much &c the contents
OF a purse. NJ
This work Of securing a place to which

honest work, Ia not all, that Ia contempl6.
ted. Tho intention Is to offer women who
desire to reform, on opportunity to ceass
to do evil, and learn to do we'll. Women
who have no friends, and who are suffer.
ing from shame and reniorse, and whose
conscience is not altogether scared, and
arc willing 10 receive tho help OF women
whose own homes are made sweet by thu
love Of Him who ID, of purer eyes than 10

For these classes We appeal: First, to

to you with confidence 10 help in this
Christian and humanitarian work? And
secondly, We look to tho fathers, the hua.
bands, sons and brothers Q! noble'womap.
to whom they are 30 tendorly attached
thst for their sasea they ara ready to do
. ~seryiee to the poorest, the plai1est and the
most unfortunate woman. Never WA
knight OF old more needed to, take up tina
cause Of the unprotected than your efforts
are now needed to secure projection and
shelter to the iriendless. Every one
taught to hate wrong and love tho right is
80 much sin restrained, SO much crime
held ,bacE, 80 much good developed. But
not only % lasting good done By the re-.
formation Of these peruons, but money is
saved to tho State By keeping them away
from the State prihon, and from the coun-
'ty farms; therefore In every light We look
at it this will be an investment TINT will
certainly pay
